How can I get files to start the right applications (e.g. Matlab or Maple)?
A! There are several things which determine the way in which Netscape handles files. The first is the extension, the second is the mime-type, and the third is the application which is bound to the first two. For example, Maple 5 Worksheets have a “.mws” extension. They are also sent over as “application/octet-stream” (that is, binary). In your home directory there is a file called .mime.types which connects the mime-types to the extension.
